The Ouya's Tegra 3-based innards are getting a little old, but the console is finally starting to get a respectable game library and the controller has been tweaked since launch. Okay, maybe you don't want to spend $99 on it, but how about $85 with some free games?

Through February 26th you can pick up an Ouya bundle from Stacksocial for $85. That includes the 8GB console with a controller and $25 in credit to spend in the Ouya store. If you expect to buy some games on the Ouya, it's sort of like getting it for $60.

Remember, the Ouya store includes free trials of all games, so you can spend that free money well.

I agree with the OP. It's a global and increasingly smaller world. Perhaps you should get over the world interfering in "my America"?

Jesus no the Tegra 3 was an ancient PoS when the OUYA launched. Where the **** is the Tegra 4 version?

YNWA

Well since they are having a sale like this I would say it is coming soon...

Incorrect. Many to aaa android games look and play great on the ouya. The main point is that those same games are not being released officially onto the system.

It hasn't lived up to it's hype. This is a pretty useless piece of obsolete hardware that they are trying to recoup costs on lol

It's only useless if you're an idiot.

David Peterson

OH SNAP!

Matthew Fry

Even if you're an idiot it could still be used as a blunt object.

It's great for xbmc media player I have one for that purpose and it works great I control it with my iPad

Matthew Fry

You know you're not interested when it is (effectively) 40% off and you still don't want it.

dude

I kind of prefer to get moga controller. I would be more interested if it had more custom rom support, I could use it to run a home media server.

Carla John

Would you think this would be a good buy for just early console emulators?

Primalxconvoy

SPAM BOT ALERT!

Primalxconvoy

It doesn't support moga controllers

Josh Williamson

Im kind of tempted to get it just for playing emulators of sorts like SNES, NES, GBA games on my tv. Would you think this would be a good buy for just early console emulators?

dude

Tegra 3 will handle all those fine so this will do nicely. But the controller ain't that good, you might want to use your own. And you don't worry about detractors. If you call Nintendo office themselves and asked about old games roms they would they you they don't even care. SquareEnix might though,

dude

ughn.. that was crappy typing.

Primalxconvoy

Using a ps3 or xbox 360 (wired for both) is recommended but those controllers are not supported by the majority of ouya games (emulators will be fine though).

Primalxconvoy

For those emulators, you will be happy. PS1 emulation is serviceable but openGL isn't supported very well. N64 looks OK but burin mapping and a full list of game emulation isn't quite there yet. Sideloading the first release of Drastic (ds emu) is also recommended.

kevgret

I'm using my surface RT to run my emulators.. works great with an xbox 360 controller

renz

so when we can expect OUYA 2? i thought they intend to upgrade the console on yearly basis

Matthew Martino

They are. But not until its been a year. Oh btw thats a year from release. Not a year from the kickstarter or anything.

$125 value is kinda debatable.

Primalxconvoy

I'd avoid the stock (silver and brown) ouya with 8gig memory; that's the one with the original controller and bluetooth issues. If you want an ouya less likely to fail, get the black version.
